From Center Stage to Centered Soul: A Love Letter to the Ones Who See Me

Hi, I’m Michelle Kelley—and if you’ve made it here, I just want to start by saying thank you.

Thank you for seeing me.

Not just the girl who once lit up the stage under neon lights, but the woman I’ve become—the storyteller, the survivor, the soul who’s still learning, still dreaming, still healing out loud.

I spent years in the adult entertainment industry. It was raw, real, and at times ruthless. But it also gave me a voice. A powerful one. It taught me how to perform, yes—but more importantly, how to endure, how to reclaim my narrative, and how to turn the chaos of my life into art. I danced for survival, but I write for freedom.

Writing became my salvation. Every poem I’ve published is a piece of my truth—shards of heartbreak, moments of clarity, memories I had to wrestle with just to breathe again. My poetry books aren’t just words on a page. They’re confessions. They’re prayers. They’re my rebellion and my redemption. Additionally, I've found joy in creating coloring books that reflect my journey, combining my passion for creative writing with visual art to inspire others. My poetry books and coloring books are not just creations; they are extensions of my soul, meant to resonate with anyone who seeks healing through art.

And then there are my coloring books and journals—because healing doesn’t always come in heavy forms. Sometimes it’s in color, in creativity, and in quiet moments where you can be present with yourself. I wanted to give people tools to reconnect with their inner child, their higher self, and their joy through creative writing and art. 

That’s where Peace Love N Hippie Stuff was born. My brand is more than just products—it’s a lifestyle, a reminder that you can be wild and wise, soft and strong, spiritual and still a little rock ‘n’ roll. It’s for the rebels with hearts of gold, the misfits who lead with love, and the survivors who never gave up on magic. 

Everything I create—whether it’s a coloring book, a product, a poem, or just a post—is rooted in honesty. I don’t pretend to be perfect. I’ve lived through hell and still found ways to dance through the fire. I’ve known loss, addiction, betrayal, and heartbreak. But I’ve also known love. Real love. The kind that finds you in the mess and says, 'You’re still worthy.'
